University of Ibadan gives access to higher education for admission seekers nationwide

IBADAN — The University of Ibadan (UI) has unveiled fresh opportunities for prospective students through its Open Distance eLearning (ODeL) programme, designed to widen access to higher education across Nigeria.

The initiative provides an alternative pathway for qualified candidates who may have missed admission through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) or are unable to pursue full-time, on-campus study at Nigeria’s premier university.

As part of the admission drive, UI has opened a special screening and verification exercise for Post-UTME candidates who wish to switch their mode of study to the UI Distance Learning Centre (UIDLC).

In an interview, Professor Babatunde Omobowale, Director of UIDLC, described the development as a significant boost for admission seekers nationwide.

“This initiative provides a credible alternative for candidates who meet the minimum academic requirements but were unable to secure admission through the conventional route.

It is also ideal for working professionals and entrepreneurs who require flexible learning options,” Omobowale said.

According to him, candidates must update their academic records before undergoing verification, which can be completed online via their portal or in person at the UIDLC Administrative Building Complex, located at the University of Ibadan Extension along Sasa-Ajibode Road.

Interactive sessions for verified candidates have already commenced.

Omobowale encouraged prospective students to apply promptly through https://modeofstudy.ui.edu.ng

Where they can begin the process of earning a UI degree through a flexible, technology-driven platform.
The UI-ODeL model combines:
Real-time virtual lectures via Mobile Class,
Interactive course materials, and
Physical revision sessions,
with courses taught by the same academic staff who handle on-campus programmes, supported by dedicated e-tutors.
To qualify, candidates must present at least five relevant O’Level credits in one sitting or six in two sittings.
All newly admitted and prospective students are expected to attend a mandatory orientation session on Saturday, September 27, 2025, at the CBT Complex, UIDLC, where they will be introduced to academic policies, student support services, and campus resources.
Omobowale emphasized that the admission window is time-bound and will close at midnight on Friday, October 10, 2025.

  Chief Abdulfatai Adekilekun Badmus: The Life and Legacy of Osogbo’s Tireless Builder When the Ataoja of Osogbo, Jimoh Oyetunji Olanipekun, conferred two prestigious titles on Chief Abdulfatai Ajadi Adekilekun Badmus, it was not out of formality or sentiment—it was recognition built on decades of service, sacrifice, and unshakable love for Osogbo. Born on May 28, 1941, Chief Badmus devoted much of his 83 years to education, community development, and public service. His legacy continues to shape the landscape and spirit of Osogbo today. Early Service to Osogbo Badmus began serving his hometown in 1972 when he was appointed to the Board of Governors of St. Charles Grammar School, Osogbo by the Western State Ministry of Education. Despite the difficult commute between Ifaki-Ekiti and Osogbo, he never missed meetings or duties—a testament to his early sense of responsibility. By 1977, he became secretary of the Osogbo Educational Advancement Committee (OEAC), under the leadership of ...

  The Quiet Power of Micro-Moments: How Small Interactions Shape Big Outcomes In a world obsessed with productivity hacks, grand gestures, and “life-changing” strategies, it’s easy to overlook the tiny fragments of time that quietly shape our days — micro-moments. A micro-moment isn’t about sitting down for an hour-long conversation or scheduling a grand event. It’s those fleeting seconds when you make eye contact, send a quick “thinking of you” message, or hold the door open for someone. On their own, they seem insignificant. But stitched together, micro-moments create the fabric of relationships, trust, and even opportunity. What Exactly Is a Micro-Moment? Psychologists often describe micro-moments as brief, high-value interactions that create connection. They can last just five to thirty seconds, but in that sliver of time, emotions transfer, trust builds, and bonds deepen. Think about: The barista who remembers your name. A colleague who smiles at you before a stressful meeting...

  The Code of a Modern Man Being a man is not just about appearances, strength, or status—it’s about living with integrity, responsibility, and respect. In a world filled with distractions and shifting values, certain principles stand as timeless reminders of what defines true masculinity. 1. Respect Boundaries If a woman says no, back off immediately. Nothing shows character more than respecting someone’s decision without pressure or argument. 2. Brotherhood Matters Beer with friends—or simply spending time together—can be more valuable than material possessions. True friendships keep you grounded. 3. Take Care of What You Value Maintaining your bike, your car, or even your tools is not a liability—it’s a necessity. Responsibility begins with caring for what you own. 4. Respect Relationships A friend’s partner is always off-limits. Loyalty to your brotherhood should outweigh fleeting temptation. 5. Guide the Younger Ones Correct men younger than you when they stumble. Leadership i...
